Day 1 & 2

Yesterday I started this challenge. I am trying not to plan too much and try to find opportunities to give in my day, which isn't so easy as I am alone a lot. Yesterday I helped someone by looking up directions for her, then printing a map and the directions out for her. I am also trying to give away what is scarce in my life, so I showed patience toward someone in the grocery store. An interesting note is that I became more aware of nice things that strangers did for me: stopped their car to…See More

Support our Cause of the Month
In November, we're sponsoring a cause started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by her strength of character and spirit. In the mid-90s, she was diagnosed with MS and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been inspirational - she is thriving through giving and is hosting a Christmas Give: "Going small to make a big impact". Lubabat is our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!
